A Step Further is the fourth studio album by English blues rock band Savoy Brown. It was released by Decca in the United Kingdom and by Parrot in the United States in the fall of 1969.

The album track "Made Up My Mind" had first appeared as the B-side of the U.S. single release on Parrot Records 45-40039 (released June 1969), fronted by "Train to Nowhere", from their album Blue Matter.[3] The track "Waiting in the Bamboo Grove" would later be released as the B-side of the U.K. single release on Decca F 13019 (released May 1970), of "A Hard Way To Go" from their album Raw Sienna.[4]
